Electric Vehicle Engineering
Electrical Vehicle Engineering (EVE) is an international master’s course that provides in-depth knowledge of electrical component technologies and their integration into electric vehicles.
This course aims to train real experts in the design and development of high-tech electric vehicles, with a particular focus on the electrical subsystems that will be embedded in future electric vehicles.
EVE graduates will be taught about ‘all-electric’ traction systems, on-board electricity storage and management, and vehicle integration with the electricity grid.
At the time of graduation, students will have knowledge of the electrical systems and components and communication systems used in electric traction vehicles, power electronic device control techniques, electric drives and on-board electrical equipment.
The course is under the administration of the University of Bologna and the teaching venue is the Department of Industrial Engineering in the same city.
Admission Process
Admission is based on merit and interviews to assess motivation and skills.
To be admitted, students must have a bachelor’s degree or equivalent, an appropriate knowledge of basic sciences (mathematics, computing, statistics, physics and chemistry) and basic engineering subjects.
Students are also required to have an appropriate knowledge of English at least at level B2 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages.
Internship and Career Perspectives
Designed in close collaboration with leading companies in the automotive sector, the course enables graduates to integrate seamlessly into high-level roles in the research, development and manufacturing environments focused on electric vehicles and their technologies.
At the end of the second academic year, the program also includes mandatory internships in private companies and lab-based thesis preparation activities carried out following a “project work” approach.
The graduate in Electric Vehicle Engineering will be able to understand, propose and adapt what is being developed in this flourishing field, playing a fundamental role in the innovation of the electric automotive sector, whose future development will increasingly depend on such technologies.
The overall education makes the graduate in Electric Vehicle Engineering an ideal candidate to play the role of project manager in the conception, design, realization and maintenance of complex systems where the overall functionality depends on the interaction of several heterogeneous systems with a strong electric component.
